Its interesting that while they say that they will be adding more spots where Karakuls spawn, in the case of Banemites they just mention adjusting their spawn rate. I hope they don't mean that they'll be decreasing the spawn rate.

Regardless, at least on Phoenix, the main problem with Banemates is the bot farming. As long as they take care of those, farming Banemites honestly isn't that bad since regular players don't really monopolize the farming spots for long.
